Frequently Asked Questions

Wiener Nachrichten is an AI-driven analysis platform that reviews historical financial data and runs backtested scenarios to help you understand how different decisions might have performed over time. We present the findings in a clear, structured format so you can make informed choices — we do not manage your money or execute trades on your behalf.

Wiener Nachrichten is built primarily for families and individual investors in Austria who want a data-grounded view of their financial options before committing to a strategy, whether that's savings planning, portfolio structuring, or long-term budgeting decisions.

Backtesting means applying a proposed strategy or decision to historical market and financial data to see how it would have theoretically performed. It's a way of stress-testing an idea against real past conditions rather than relying purely on assumptions. Past performance shown through backtesting does not guarantee future results.

No. The platform is designed to translate complex analysis into plain language and visual summaries. You don't need a background in finance or data science to understand the output, though we always recommend discussing significant decisions with a qualified advisor.

No. Wiener Nachrichten provides analytical tools and data-driven insight to support your own decision-making process. It is not a substitute for personalised advice from a licensed financial professional, and nothing on this platform should be interpreted as a formal recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any specific asset.

We take data handling seriously and apply reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect the information you share with us. For full details on what is collected, how it's used, and your rights regarding it, please see our Privacy Policy.

Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the scenario and the information provided. During your consultation, we'll give you a realistic sense of what to expect for your specific situation rather than a generic estimate.

Wiener Nachrichten focuses on analysis rather than account integration, so it is generally compatible with the information you provide regardless of where your accounts are held. Specific compatibility questions are best addressed during your consultation.

A consultation is a conversation where we learn about your goals and current situation, explain how the analysis works, and answer any questions before you decide whether to move forward. There's no obligation attached to booking one.

Pricing details are discussed directly during the consultation process, as they depend on the scope of analysis you're interested in. Reach out via the booking link to get specifics tailored to your situation.

Our current focus is on supporting families and investors based in Austria, which allows us to tailor our approach to the relevant local context. If you're located elsewhere, get in touch and we can let you know whether we're able to assist.

The simplest first step is booking a consultation through the button in the navigation menu. From there, we'll guide you through what information is needed and what the process looks like from start to finish.
